Good. Now it’s in public view. Can we start calling those who wish to exterminate Arabs, Anti-Semites also?

My mantra is (when I am relentlessly called an anti-Semite because I am anti-Jewish control) is:

How can I be an anti-Semite when I support the REAL Semites… Palestinians (Arabs)?

I don’t hate Jews. I hate Jewish manipulation, lies, and their control of the US (and much of the western world). It’s about time that the rest start hating that same thing.

In fact, Arabs are the only people who can claim to be Semite people. Western Jews are descendants of Khazarian Turks or North African Berbers, who converted to Judaism centuries ago.

Oxford dictionary defines the word anti-Semitism as “hatred toward members of any of the races supposed to be descended from Shem (Gen.10.21) including the Hebrews, Arabs, Assyrians, Arameans, Phoenicians, and Assyrians. In the past, somehow the term got reserved for discrimination of Jews in Christian Europe, though the great majority of Jews living in Europe were not descendent of Shem (Tribes of Israel), but Turk converts from Khazaria empire in Asia. However, after the creation of Zionist state of Israel by the western powers to dump their unwanted Jewish communities in the Middle East – the term ‘anti-Semitism’ has taken new meanings, that is – “any criticism of Zionism or Israel is equal to hatred toward towards World Jewry and thus fall under ‘anti-Semitism’ category”. On the other hand, the critism of Zionists’ victims – the Arabs, who are more Semite in numbers than the entire world Jewish population – is not accepted as ‘anti-Semitism’ by the so-called ‘Gaurdians of western civilization’. The Zionist ‘prophet’, Theodor Herzl, saw the usefulness ‘anti-Semitism’ tag from the early days of of his political life – declaring “the anti-Semites will be our most dependable friends, the anti-Semitic countries, our allies (Patai, Diaries, Vol. 1, P. 84). In the words of the Zionist Chaim Kaplan, who kept a diary during the Warsaw ghetto uprising, wrote: “Every nation, in its time of misfortune, has conspirators who do their work in secret. In our case an entire nation has been raised on conspiracy. With others the conspiracy is political; with us it is religious and national.”

For centuries, Jewish elites have been trying to rewrite world history to paint a ‘peaceful Jewishness’ mask, thanks to their monopoly over media and banking institutions. However, many moral Jewish writers have exposed this ‘anti-Semitism’ myth. For example, Rabbi Michael Lerner wrote in Tikkun Magazine: “The media has been abuzz with stories of Jews denouncing former President Jimmy Carter for his book ‘Palestine: Peace or Apartheid’. The same charges of anti-Semitism that have consistently been launched against anyone who criticize Israeli policy is being launched against the one American leader who managed to create a lasting peace between Israel and a major Arab State (Egypt). Instead of seriously engaging with the issues raised, the Jewish establishment and media responds by attacking the people who raise these (racism, apartheid, mass killing, etc.) or any other critiques – shifting the discourse to the legitimacy of the messenger and thus avoiding the substance of criticism…..”

Excerpt:
The actual details of the Khazar theory concerning European Jewry are simply pseudo-history and crackpot poppycock.

Jews already lived in Europe a thousand years before the Khazar kingdom was formed. There are no genetic markers or indicators at all showing that Ashkenazi Jews are descended from Turkic tribes. In fact, there exists considerable genetic evidence showing that European Jews are closer to Levantine and Syrian Arabs than to Central Asians.

After the Mongol invasion most Khazars probably assimilated into the Jewish communities of Iran and Iraq, which of course eventually emerged as important Sephardic centers, formed mainly of Jews with Semitic racial characteristics, descended from migrants and exiled Jews from the Land of Israel. In any case, there are more “Semitic” Sephardic Jews in Israel today than there are European Ashkenazi Jews. And if the Khazars looked Turkic, how on earth could they give Ashkenazi Jews a European complexion?

There are other problems. If all Ashkenazi Jews are descended from converted Khazars, why are there Cohens and Levis among them? One inherits the status of a Cohen (priest) or Levite from one’s father. Descendants of converts through the male line can never be a Cohen or a Levite.

And why are there no Khazar surnames among Ashkenazim, or Khazar names for towns in Europe where Jews lived? And why did most Ashkenazi communities speak variations of Yiddish rather than Turkic?

As mentioned, the popularity of the Khazar myth among anti-Semites represents a return of modern anti-Jewish bigotry to the racialism of the 1930′s and earlier.

Nearly every anti-Semitic and neo-Nazi website denounces Zionists and Israelis as “Khazars.” Web chat lists in which Jews defending Israel are dismissed as “Khazar usurpers” are too numerous to count.

Excerpt:
Genetic data have also been useful for debunking myths of Jewish history. The best example is the Khazar hypothesis, popularized (though not originated) by the critic and novelist Arthur Koestler in the mid-twentieth century. A people of the central Asian steppes, the Khazars founded a major kingdom north of the Caspian Sea in the seventh century, and between one and two hundred years later Khazar leaders and some undetermined proportion of the people converted to Judaism. After the 10th century, they disappeared from history. Koestler promoted the idea that Ashkenazi Jewry was largely descended from the Khazars, who he speculated had migrated into central Europe. Although the genetic data cannot exclude some introjection of Khazar genes into Ashkenazi gene pool—and there are even some data consistent with this possibility—it seems clear that this constitutes at most a minor contribution to Ashkenazi ancestry. Koestler’s literary skills notwithstanding, the Jewish populations of European origins have clear Levantine roots.

More broadly, widespread assumptions that since Ashkenazi Jews are usually pale while Near Eastern Jews tend to be swarthy, the latter must be much more closely related to the peoples among whom their ancestors lived have been overturned. As would be expected from their appearance, Ashkenazi Jews have a higher admixture of European genes than do their Mizrachi cousins, but in both groups the genetic links to Levantine ancestry is strong.

Excerpt:
Shem was one of the three sons of Noah and he had two brothers, Japhet and Ham, and Hamitic was the term linguists chose to categorize the pre-Arabic languages of North Africa, which are different from the Semitic language group.

And I use Hamitic as I do because I am a believing Jew who says not only that the Arabs stole Zionism and called it Palestinian Nationalism – they stole our claim that we are an ancient people and that this is our ancient homeland and that we are emotionally attached to it. They say they are an ancient people too and that this is their ancient homeland too. (This is, by the way, the identical technique the first Muslims used when they stole Judaism and called it Islam — a religion even more than Christianity that is a complete rip-off of Judaism.)

I say they stole the terms Semite and Semitic no less.

Arabs say they can’t be anti-Semitic because they too are Semites because they also are the children of Abraham, who the Bible tells us was the 10th generation descendant of Shem.

But this could not be more wrong. True, Ishmael was a son of Abraham, indeed his first-born. But we Jews do not — like Arabs, Russians and loads of other nationalities — hold by patrilineal descendant. To be a Jew you have to have a Jewish mother.

And Ishmael did not. His mother (this is all in the Book of Genesis) was Hagar, an Egyptian (Egypt=Mitzrayim), and Mitzrayim was one of the four sons of Ham (along with Canaan, Put and Cush.)

The Torah also tells us that Hagar found a wife for her son who was also an Egyptian.

Therefore: since Ishmael had a Hamitic (not a Semitic) mother and married a Hamitic woman, his offspring are Hamites, not Semites.

Tertius Wehmeyer

The story of Noah is a myth. The old testament is myth. Not real history. So all of the above is really pseudo-history and really irrelevant.

And if you look at the historic timeline of Palestine region from 3,300 BC i.e. 5,300 BP, then the Israelite period occupied less than 300 years from 1000–732 BC i.e. 5.6%. The Israelites supposedly invaded the land of Canaan, so not their land but a land of conquest. Even if you start counting at 1000 BC i.e. 3,000 BP, then the Israelites only ruled this area for 10% of the time. Of course, I didn’t include the occupation since the conquest in 1948. So who has the most historical claim to Palestine. I would think the Palestinian claim has a much longer history and that after the demise of the Turkish empire, the land should have gone to the people who lived there, not the Jewish immigrants who were forced there by European governments and their Zionist collaborators. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_periods_in_the_Palestine_region

KVCapitalist

If it’s all a myth then the claim that Arabs being Semites is also a myth! I guess that subtle point escaped you.

Tertius Wehmeyer

Aren’t all religions based on myths or the hallucinations of their prophets? So yes, you are so right,
the claim that BOTH Arabs and Jews are Semites is a myth! However,
linguistically Arabic and Hebrew have been classified in the same group
i.e. Semitic languages. So from that perspective both Arabs and Hebrews
are Semites. Or is this linguistic classification wrong? What should it
be? Maybe you should write a thesis on this. Mythical terms are part of our culture and are very often used to name or classify e.g. the planets mostly have names in English based on Greek and Roman mythology.

For someone that appears so well informed about your own myths you make a serious error by stating that the Arabs are Hamites. The Old Testament, one of your sources of wisdom, clearly states that Abraham had two sons, Isaac and Ishmael. Arabs claim descent from Ishmael and Jews from Isaac. Noah supposedly had 3 sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Shem was an ancestor of Abraham, therefore of both Arabs and Jews / Hebrews. Canaan, the son of Ham, was in this tradition the ancestor of guess who, the Canaanites. Modern Israeli archeologist have not found any signs of these wars described in the old testament. They assume that the Hebrews were a sub-group of the Canaanites. The older myths of the Hebrew Bible were copied from the Mesopotamian myths. The character of Noah was based on the Sumerian character Gilgamesh. Seehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noahhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriarchs_%28Bible%29https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abrahamhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishmael

Regarding all your other points I suggest you read a bit wider than what you have been indoctrinated by. Please read these two books on Palestine written respectively by a “right-wing” and a “left-wing” Israeli historian:

If there was no oil in the Middle East, there would be no modern Israel. Just not worthwhile for the lords of the world to spend their precious energy on an area that contains mostly sand. With modern shipping routes and flying routes. the ME would just not be important. It was important for Europe earlier because all trade from the Far East had to pass through the ME. Now, it is only about oil.

Tertius Wehmeyer

And remember, the Jews come from the tribe of Judah, 1 of the 12 Israeli tribes. Where are the other 11 now? How big was Judea? Does that area cover the whole of current Israel? I think not. And why should Israel be so ethnically exlusive? Jews live in many countries in the world. In England we now found many nationalities calling themselves British. Why are the Jews in Israel so paranoid and exclusive. In most other countries, foreigners are allowed to immigrate in. To live in Israel, your mother has to be Jewish. Racism or not?

KVCapitalist

The Arabs are not Jews. Basef on that argument the whole world is “Semitic”, which is absurd.

1) Ishmael’s mother was a Hamite. One is only Jewish if one’s mother is Jewish, i.e., it follows the mother not the father.

2) Ishmael married a Hamite. However many generations later, Abraham’s DNA is but a drop in the ocean.

Arabs are Hamites by definition of the origin of Shemitic vs. Hamitic definition.

Tertius Wehmeyer

Are you very sure Abraham actually existed? Just because a religious tract say so, it is not necessarily true. Of course, for believers like you, it is true. And also Noah who spawned Shem and Ham? Genetic links between Arabs and Middle Eastern Jews is the ownly scientific way to do so. And descent from a maternal line is a cultural construct. But many woman from other cultures have adopted Judaism as a religion when they marry Jewish men, after which I hope, their children are also regarded as Jewish. Or do they go through that rigorious process for nothing? Of course, academics often use cultural constructs for classifications. So in this case, just as others, mythological concepts are used to coin an academic term. E.g. the planets are in the Western world named after Roman and Greek gods. And these terms are used by cosmologist. So of course, in the narrow academic world of Jewish religious studies, I assume that those who want to control the religion, will ensure that strict definitions are made as to who can be part of the in-group. But that doesn’t make that a universal truth, only a narrow enforced group truth. I’ll personally go for linguists definitions of who is semitic or not. As I am an agnostic, I don’t accept either Jewish, Christian or Islamic cultural definitions.

KVCapitalist

Fallacious Argument. Whether Abraham existed or not or Noah existed or not is irrelevant. The definition of a Semite or Shemite is based on the Torah, i.e., it is part of the history of the Hebrews whether true or not. Without the story of Noah, there is no such thing as a “Shemite” and by that definition, Arabs are not Semites.

It’s irrelevant whether I believe in Abraham or not. It’s basic logic regardless of what one believes or does not believe. I don’t believe in Allah but that doesn’t change the fact of what Islamic Doctrine says.

Tertius Wehmeyer

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism
” Etymology
1879 statute of the Antisemitic League
The origin of “antisemitic” terminologies is found in the responses of Moritz Steinschneider to the views of Ernest Renan. As Alex Bein writes: “The compound anti-Semitism appears to have been used first by
Steinschneider, who challenged Renan on account of his ‘anti-Semitic
prejudices’ [i.e., his derogation of the “Semites” as a race].”[14] Avner Falk similarly writes: ‘The German word antisemitisch was first used in 1860 by the Austrian Jewish scholar Moritz Steinschneider (1816-1907) in the phrase antisemitische Vorurteile (antisemitic prejudices). Steinschneider used this phrase to characterise the French philosopher Ernest Renan’s false ideas about how “Semitic races” were inferior to “Aryan races”‘.[15]

In 1879 German journalist Wilhelm Marr published a pamphlet, Der Sieg des Judenthums über das Germanenthum. Vom nicht confessionellen Standpunkt aus betrachtet (The Victory of the Jewish Spirit over the Germanic Spirit. Observed from a non-religious perspective) in which he used the word Semitismus interchangeably with the word Judentum to denote both “Jewry” (the Jews as a collective) and “jewishness” (the quality of being Jewish, or the Jewish spirit).[20][21][22]”

So, according to Wikipedia it is clear that Austrian Jewish scholar Moritz Steinschneider was the first person to coin the German equivalent of the word “anti-semitic”. And please note it was used in response to French philosopher Ernest Renan’s false ideas about how “Semitic races” were inferior to “Aryan races”. And as Renan referred to Semitic races (plural not singular), it is clear that he was referring to MORE than ONE “race”.

And here the following is stated:
” Semitic people or Semitic cultures (from the biblical “Shem”, Hebrew: שם‎‎) was a term for an ethnic, cultural or racial group who speak or spoke the Semitic languages.[2][3][4][5] The terminology was first used in the 1770s by members of the Göttingen School of History, who derived the name from Shem, one of the three sons of Noah in the Book of Genesis.[6] The term “Semitic”, together with the parallel terms Hamitic and Japhetic, is now largely obsolete outside of linguistics.[7][8][9] However, in archaeology, the term is sometimes used informally as “a kind of shorthand” for ancient Semitic-speaking peoples.[9]”

And again “Semitic languages” links to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semitic_languages where the following is stated:
” The Semitic languages are a branch of the Afroasiatic language family originating in the Middle East. Semitic languages are spoken by more than 330 million people across much of Western Asia, North Africa and the Horn of Africa, as well as in often large expatriate communities in North America and Europe, with smaller communities in the Caucasus and Central Asia. The terminology was first used in the 1780s by members of the Göttingen School of History,[2] who derived the name from Shem, one of the three sons of Noah in the Book of Genesis.

To summarise, the word Semitic was first used by in the 1780s by members of the Göttingen School of History. And then in 1860 The German word antisemitisch was first used by the Austrian Jewish scholar Moritz Steinschneider in response to Renan. As Renan was awarded the Volney prize in 1847 for the manuscript of his “General History of Semitic Languages”, it is clear that Renan used the word Semitic referring to all speakers of different Semitic languages as defined by the Göttingen School of History. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Renan

So you are wrong in asserting that Wilhelm Marr coined the term “anti-semitic” as it was the Jewish scholar Moritz Steinschneider. AND as that was in response to Renan, who used the term “Semite” as referring to all speakers of Semitic languages, it is clear that it is incorrect to assert that “only Jews are Semites”. That is racist in itself, starting from Steinschneider to yourself.

And according to genetic studies, the following is known “A DNA study of Jews and Palestinian Arabs (including Bedouins) found that these were more closely related to each other than to people of the Arabian Peninsula, Ethiopian Semitic-speaking people (Amharas, Tigrayans , Harari and Tigre people), and the Arabic speakers of North Africa.[12][13]”. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semitic_people. So the clashes between Israelis and Palestinians seem to be a Civil War between distant related cousins. Who are all Semites? 🙂

Tertius Wehmeyer

And by the way, regarding the use of term Hamitic, the following from Wikipedia:
” Hamitic (from the biblical Ham) is a historical term in ethnology and linguistics for a division of the Caucasian race and the group of related languages these populations spoke. The appellation Hamitic was applied to the Berber, Cushitic and Egyptian branches of the Afroasiatic family, which, together with the Semitic branch, was thus formerly labelled “Hamito-Semitic”.[1] However, since the three Hamitic branches have not been shown to form an exclusive (monophyletic) phylogenetic unit of their own, separate from other Afroasiatic
languages, linguists no longer use the term in this sense. Each of these
branches is instead now regarded as an independent subgroup of the
larger Afroasiatic family.[2]

Beginning in the 19th century, scholars generally classified the Hamitic race as a subgroup of the Caucasian race, along with the Semitic race – thus grouping the non-Semitic populations native to North Africa and the Horn of Africa, including the Ancient Egyptians.[3] According to the Hamitic theory, this “Hamitic race” was superior to or more advanced than Negroid populations of Sub-Saharan Africa. In its most extreme form, in the writings of C. G. Seligman,
this theory asserted that virtually all significant achievements in African history were the work of “Hamites” who had migrated into central Africa as pastoralists, bringing new customs, languages, technologies and administrative skills with them. In the early 20th century, theoretical models of Hamitic languages and of Hamitic races were intertwined.[4]
This nomenclature gradually fell out of favour between the 1960s and 1980s, in large part due to its perceived association with colonial paternalism. The populations of Hamitic ancestral stock are now more commonly known as “Caucasoid”.[5]”
So take care not to be regarded as a racist by politically very correct people as it seems that your use of the term “Hamitic races” seem to be regarded quite outmoded by now.

KVCapitalist

Everything you just posted supports my argument… Nothing there that counters my argument. The term “Semite” refers to Jews, not Arabs.

The fact that Palestinian Arabs have similar DNA, only proves that many Dhimmi Jews converted to Islam in an attempt to escape their subjugated status under Islamic Rule and intermarried with the Arabs that had Colonized Palestine after Umar ibn al-Khattab, the 2nd Rashidun conquered the Holy Land in ~695AD.

The term Shemetic is defined by the Bible and refers to Jews as is Hamitic, which refers to those from Africa. Hagar was Egyptian as was Ishmael’s wife. Arabs are Hamites, not Semites.

KVCapitalist

The term Antisemite was coined in Europe in reference to Jews, not Arabs.

KVCapitalist

Further, the term “Antisemite” was not coined until the late 1800’s by Wilhelm Marr, a German Radical Socialist. Secular Socialists saw Jews as primarily “Capitalists” and could no longer subscribe to the excuse that the Jews killed Jesus in order to justify their hatred of Jews. So the term’s origin has nothing to do with Arabs, which adds further fuel to the belief that the term does NOT include Arabs.

KVCapitalist

As an example, Harry Potter doesn’t exist either but Harry Potter books clearly define what a “Muggle” is, so if wizards actually exist (which they don’t), then they are not “Muggles”.

Just because Arabic is a Semetic language doesn’t make Arab DNA Semitic.

There is no such thing as a “Palestinian” ethnicity and if there was, the Jews were called “Palestinians” long before Arab Muslims were.

The name “Palestine” was derived from the word “Philistia” and the Philistines were originally from the Aegean and were closely related to the Greeks. Also, the Philistines only occupied a small area in the region of Gaza. The Arab Muslims who now call themselves “Palestinians” are obviously NOT Greek. Arab Muslims invaded and conquered “Palestine” in the 7th Century under the 2nd “Rightly-Guided” Caliph of Islam, Umar ibn Al-Khattāb.

Arab Muslims claiming to be “Palestinians” is no different than if they migrated to the US and claimed to be “American Indians” in order to claim that they had a superior right to land in North America. They can’t even pronounce the word “Palestine” correctly because there is no “P” sound in Arabic. They say “Falesteen” or “Balestine”.

Roman Emporer Hadrian renamed the Kingdom of Judah (from which the word “Jew” was derived), Syria Palaestina (“Palestine”) and Jerusalem, Aeolia Capitolina, in an attempt to eradicate Judaism after the Romans put down a Jewish Uprising in ~136AD. This happened long before Arab Muslims conquered the Holy Land.

The first mention of the expression “the people of Palestine” in a UN Document was in 1969, in UN General Assembly Resolution 2535 and the first mention of the term “the Palestinian people”, in a UN Document was in 1970 in UNGA Resolution 2628.

“The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct “Palestinian people” to oppose Zionism.

For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan.”

And Judaism, i.e. the Torah, is a rip-off of Sumerian and Persian mythologies :-)? But I do agree, I think it is ridiculous for Europeans to have exchanged the rich cultural philosophies of the Romans, Greeks, Celts and Germanics for the cultural fascistic and boring monotheistic concept of Christianity. For that, Constantyn, the tyrant and cultural fascist, is primarily responsible.

KVCapitalist

The term “Antisemitic” was specifically coined by 19th Century Socialists in reference to Jews, not Arabs.

Excerpt:
The anti-Jewish creed was formalized by Wilhelm Marr, the German writer who coined the term anti-Semitic. In 1879 Marr published his book The Victory of Judaism over Germandom, which went through twelve editions in six years. He also founded the Antisemitic Journal, and started an Antisemitic League. Marr idolized Tsarist Russia, and earlier in his career he had been a radical socialist. The new anti-Semites who followed Marr expanded the medieval attacks on Jewish traders and usurers and developed them into a full-scale economic critique. The Jews who provoked the most anger were those who embraced cosmopolitan, Enlightenment values, and who achieved economic success.

In the second half of the nineteenth century, Germany became the first country to develop systematic anti-Semitic political and intellectual movements. In Germany, Adolf Stocker’s Christian Social Party (1878-1885) combined anti-Semitism with left-wing, reformist legislation. The party attacked laissez-faire economics and the Jews as part of the same liberal plague. Stocker’s movement synthesized medieval anti-Semitism, based in religion, and modern anti-Semitism, based in racism and socialist economics. He once wrote: I see in unrestrained capitalism the evil of our epoch and am naturally also an opponent of modern Judaism on account of my socio-political views. Stocker had revered the Prussian aristocracy since his youth.

Georg Ritter von Schonerer led the left-wing, anti-Semitic movement in Austria. Schonerer’s German Liberal Party, developed a lower-middle-class, anti-Semitic, anti-capitalistic platform in the 1880s. Schonerer directed his anti-Semitism at the economic activity of the Rothschilds; he advocated nationalization of their railroad assets. Later, he broadened his charges to attack Jewish merchants more generally. Hitler was an avid admirer of Schonerer, and as a young man even hung Schonerer’s slogans over his bed.

Arabs are aggressive Muslims(not all Muslims are aggressive). They prorieted Islam as the mixture of the Tora and Christian bible, spoiling both. Jews was named semites when they had not live Semitic language.

I should say its still hatred directed towards jews, due to to who invented that term, so I just call hatred for arabs prejudice or pure racism.
